(just a place for me to keep some easy to reference passages - when I find some more time, I hope to include all Carthaginian naval activity during the war)

These are just some of the passages in Livy that reveal a number of naval operations and landings of forces from Africa during the war.

Hasdrubal, the Carthaginian commander, did not feel himself strong enough in either arm, and kept himself safe by taking up strong positions at a distance from the enemy; until, in...

Mago Barca
240/39 BC - 203 BC

Hannibal's youngest brother, Mago, was born in 239-240 BC and arrived in Spain at the age of thirteen. He probably accompanied Hannibal in his early Spanish campaigns between 221-219 BC, before setting off with his brother for the invasion of Italy in 218 BC.

By the end of 229 BC, Hasdrubal Barca was campaigning with his...
